Chapter 367: Will You Still Shield Her?

Lu Li nodded and said to Qiao Liang, “Take Rourou to the car.”

The female agent turned her eyes to the girl in Qiao Liang’ s arms and frowned. Just then, a bullet flew towards Qiao Liang. He was carrying Tang Xi in his arms and put all his attention on her, so he was not as responsive as usual. He turned himself sideways and dodged the bullet, but it shot him in the arm. Qiao Liang’s arm trembled and almost dropped Tang Xi to the ground. He hurriedly knelt down and held Tang Xi tightly. Upon seeing this, the female agent screamed, “Mr. Qiao!”

“Cover us!” Qiao Liang was afraid Tang Xi might be shot, and roared. Lu Li quickly came over and covered them as they got into the car, ordering the female agent, “Huo Yun, cover us. And kill the people who attacked us!”

The female agent was about to speak, but she swallow back the words on the tip of her tongue when she heard Lu Li’s order. She nodded as she said, “Okay.”

Qiao Liang took Tang Xi into the car, and Lu Li followed them in. The car sped away under the cover of the agents. Huo Yun took a look at the car, gave a cold smile, and said to the sniper at the southeast corner, “Feng Hua, kill them all!”

Hearing her order, Feng Hua happily whistled, saying, “Yes, Madam.”

In the car Lu Li dressed Qiao Liang’s wound, saying, “Your gunshot wound is not serious. Don’t worry.” Then he took a look at Tang Xi in Qiao Liang’s arms and asked with a frown, “Why did she suddenly show up here?”

“She hasn’t been getting enough rest, so she passed out from physical exhaustion. She’ll be fine.” Qiao Liang gazed at Tang Xi and said lightly. That being said, he himself didn’t believe what he said at all. With supernatural abilities, Xixi was either much stronger or weaker than ordinary people. But it was obvious that she was currently in the latter situation and her immune system must be weak too.

Thinking of this, Qiao Liang was very regretful. Why did he tell her that he was going to Provence and let her worry about him? Why didn’t he take better care of her as Xiao Yao requested him?”

…

The alley underwent a hail of bullets and many officers of Interpol who were armed to the teeth were killed here. But the local residents thought those who were killed were all gangsters. Except the local police who knew that they were officers of Interpol, other people thought they were common gangsters who deserved to die.

As Interpol started this battle without a proper reason, the local police didn’t do anything about it.

In Wen Ning’s office in Interpol, Wen Ning lunged to her feet when she heard the death toll reported by the director. She looked coldly at him, and asked, “They were all killed?”

“Yes, Inspector. We can’t let Long Xiao off. It must be a terrorist organization! Otherwise, how dare they do this to us! Please allow us to pass this case to the anti-terrorism force! We must take revenge on Long Xiao…”

“Shut up!” Wen Ning shouted coldly, “Did I allow you to take action? Provence was in a riot! And the local gangs and the police were fighting. But you started a war in Marseilles at this improper time and many of our men died in this war. How are you going to explain to our Chiefs? How can you be so stupid?!”

The director turned pale, saying, “Someone reported to us about the whereabouts of the two bosses of Long Xiao, so we sent our men over. I told them not to catch the two men, but I didn’t expect them to act so rashly…” The director paused and looked at Wen Ning, saying, “But Inspector, we can’t just sit by and do nothing. Although we can’t find any evidence incriminating Long Xiao Group, I’m sure that Long Xiao Organization is a terrorist organization. We must stop them, or it will become a great threat to us. Now that they killed our men, we can’t let them off. Otherwise, people will look down on us!”

Wen Ning took a deep breath and coldly said, “Can you leave now? I need to consider this matter.”

But the director didn’t leave. He continued, “Inspector, we’ve already got a clue. If we keep investigating, we will get the evidence we want soon. Can you…”

“Can’t you hear me? Get out!” Wen Ning stared coldly at the director who was more than a decade older than her, and shouted coldly, “Chris, don’t make me repeat myself again!”

Chris took an embarrassed glance at Wen Ning, sighed and turned to walk out.

After the director walked out, Wen Ning leaned backward and looked tired. She installed the locator in Lu Li’s cellphone to keep him from running into her men. She would make her subordinates stay away from Lu Li when she learned where he was. However, to her surprise, he had found out about it, the first time she used the locater. She… she had finally got him back, but now he must be utterly disappointed at her…

But she couldn’t blame him. Qiao Liang was his childhood friend. It was understandable that he was angry at her because Qiao Liang was injured by her subordinates. But why didn’t he give her a chance to explain?

Wen Ning rubbed between her brows, and called Lu Li, but the call couldn’t be connected. She froze. It seemed that Lu Li had blacklisted her?

…

In a hospital in Marseilles, Qiao Liang was sitting in front of Tang Xi’s sickbed, but there wasn’t any sign that she was about to wake up. He regretted a lot…

Huo Yun and the others were guarding outside the door. Huo Yun asked Lu Li angrily, “Who is that woman?” She sounded angry. If it weren’t for that woman, Mr. Qiao wouldn’t have been injured. If he couldn’t dodge that bullet, it might have shot him on the heart… Mr. Qiao was injured because he tried to protect that woman! He might have died if he failed to dodge that bullet! Thinking of this, Huo Yun scowled.

Lu Li took a look at Huo Yun and asked, “Have you found my cell phone?”

“Mr. Seven, here you are.” Feng Hua handed a cellphone to Lu Li. Huo Yun said, “It’s said that Wen Ning leaked your whereabouts to the Interpol. Mr. Seven, will you still shield her?”
